On his right is the drinks stall where we buy our pineapple drink for 5c per cup from the Indian stallholder.<br />James, you are lucky - I have only ONE occasion when I drank a bottle of those Magnolia milk in the bottle - I was only given 10 cents for pocket money - 5c for dried mee siam or yong tao fu and 5c for drinks. In my early primary, mom brings hot milo and 2 slices of bread (kaya and SCS butter). Sometime I ask her to bring bread with SCS butter and sugar instead. I remember looking forward to her visit every morning during recess time.<br />Then in my upper primary years, I was made a Prefect and I remember trying to mend the leak on the washbasin at the tuckshop with laundry soap. Mr Tirlok Singh suggest it would not work and to leave it to the plumber but I gave it a go anyway - it only stop the leak temporarily!<br />My son goes to Primary 1 next year but it will not be at Princess Elizabth Primary School because we should have moved by then from Bt Batok.<br /><br />Yum Shoen LiangTarraleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641622228058289985noreply@blogger.com
